Goji berries/wolfberries
« on: March 22, 2012, 02:59:50 AM »
The nurseries I get catalogs from are sending out literature advertising this as a "miracle fruit".  Does anyone have any of these plants; what are your observations?

I can post an answer in a couple years.  ;)

I have been considering them as well, and according to what I can find they are very high in anti-oxidents, and vitamins.  Consider though that so are most home grown fruits, like blue berries, black berries, raspberries, etc.  One thing I cannot determine is how they taste.  I am going to order two this fall, and try em.  I am prepared to pull them out and burn them if I don't like them, and replace them with either more blueberries, or maybe an extra Filbert or two.

Let me know what you decide, and if you like them.

From what I read they don't have much of a flavor but anything you eat afterwards will have a much sweeter flavor.
